Newton Heath was an electoral division of Manchester City Council which was represented from 1890 until 2004. It covered the Newton Heath area of North Manchester.

Overview

Newton Heath ward was created in 1890,[1] as a result of the Manchester Extension Scheme 1890, which transferred the townships of Blackley, Crumpsall, Moston, Newton, Openshaw, and parts of Gorton to the Manchester corporation.[2] Initially, it covered the western portion of the former Newton township, these boundaries were not affected by a city-wide boundary revision in 1919.[3] A further boundary revision in 1950 transferred an area to the west of Ten Acres Lane to the Miles Platting ward,[4] while another revision in 1971 transferred a part of the Bradford ward to the west of Clayton Street to the ward.[5] In 1982,[6] the ward's southern boundary became the River Medlock. In 2004, the ward was abolished, and its remaining area was transferred to the new Miles Platting and Newton Heath ward.[7]

From its creation until 1918, the ward was split between the Manchester North and Manchester North East Parliamentary constituencies.[8] From 1918 until 1955, it was part of the Manchester Clayton Parliamentary constituency.[9] From 1955 until 1983, it was part of the Manchester Openshaw Parliamentary constituency. From 1983 until its abolition, it was part of the Manchester Central Parliamentary constituency.
